TNZD Proposed Changes from 01/12/2016 Meeting

Moving TNZD from appendix to code (Resolution 040-2015) should have no bearing other than the physical location of the text.

Neighborhood Center - Alternative 1 — Accept Planning & Design’s staff recommendation per the January 12, 2016 presentation.

Neighborhood Center Transition - Alternative 2 — Accept Planning & Design’s recommendation per the January 12, 2016 presentation.

Institutional Definition — Broadening definition of institutional uses.  Planning & Design’s recommendation was outside of the original OLNC requested changes, request explanation for motivation to broaden definition, clarify non-residential versus multi-family.

Neighborhood Center Edge Transition - Planning & Design has since changed from the recommendation presented on January 12, 2016.

Sign recommendations — Conflicts with Landmarks

Map Changes — Extension of of Neighborhood Center and Neighborhood Center Transition

ZALU approves of Planning and design staff recommendation only in the regard of those changes initiated by OLNC which included: 

1. Neighborhood Center (Alternative 1 Changes proposed on 01/12/2016), 
2. Neighborhood Center Transition (Alternative 2 changes proposed on 01/12/2016), 
3. Corner Commercial (no changes from the original requests from OLNC as proposed on 1/12/2016) and
4. Neighborhood Center Edge Transition to be those same uses as Planning and Design’s Alternative 1 Changes for Neighborhood Center.

ZALU cannot support those changes proposed by Planning and Design outside and beyond those changes originally requested by OLNC, including but not limited to: Institution Definition, Map Changes to extend Neighborhood Center and Neighborhood Center Transition, and  any additional uses proposed for neighborhood general.
